POLL: Is the Regional School Unit 20 budget of $35.5 million agreed on by the finance committee too high, too low or adequate for the district?

Apr 23, 2014

The Regional School Unit 20 Finance Committee voted to forward a 2014-15 budget package totaling more than $35.5 million to the full board of directors for consideration.

Finance Committee Chairman Tony Swebilius said the proposal is slightly less than what he had reported at the last regular board meeting on April 8. At that time Swebilius said the across-the-board increase in town assessments could be up by about 8.4 percent and that the overall package showing an increase of 7.8 percent over last year's final budget.
